About the Item
Highly comfortable S15 lounge chair in tan leather, designed by Pierre Chapo and manufactured in his own workshop, France 1967.
The design of this chair is a great example of following the pioneering 48×72 ratio. A carefully crafted assembly, without the usage of screws. The back is made of one thick saddle leather panel to support the back cushion, also the sides and back have an extra saddle leather strap to support the down filled cushions. The original seating cushions are made of a soft tan leather which features a stunning patina. A well thought design concept to combine both beauty and comfort.
Pierre Chapo: A Visionary Designer (1927–1987)
Born into a family of craftsmen, Pierre Chapo studied architecture at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His passion for exploration led him to travel through England, Scandinavia, and America, where he was captivated by architectural diversity.
In 1957, Chapo and his wife Nicole founded Société Chapo, a workshop and gallery showcasing his designs alongside Nicole’s ceramics and textiles. Their renowned gallery at 14 Boulevard de l’Hôpital opened in 1958, where among other artists mainly his and Isamu Noguchi’s creations were on display.
Chapo’s designs, rooted in traditional craftsmanship, drew inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, and Bauhaus principles. Guided by the golden ratio, he emphasized material, form, and function, with elmwood as his preferred medium. Despite falling ill later in life, Chapo continued creating until his passing in 1987, leaving a timeless legacy in design.

Pierre Chapo
Pierre Chapo, who was born in Paris, France, in July 1927, was initially interested in becoming a professional painter. However, after a chance meeting with a shipbuilder who introduced him to wood and woodworking, Chapo changed his focus and decided to study architectural studies at the prestigious École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
After graduating, Chapo and his wife, the sculptor and painter Nicole Lormier, started traveling extensively through Scandinavia and Central America. Among the many places the couple visited was Taliesin West, the home and studio of Frank Lloyd Wright — a visit that had a lasting influence on Chapo’s future work and designs.
